Zongman: I Travel Through Countless Worlds At The Same Time

640. The Power Of Athena

The three snake-haired banshee sisters, including Medusa, not only have snake hair, but also have golden wings on their backs.

The name of the second sister, Euryale, means 'the one who flies away', and the youngest sister, Medusa, is the mother of Pegasus, the winged horse.

What connects Athena and birds is the earth and the underworld——Athena is the god who dominates the two worlds. Birds have the magic power to fly back and forth between other worlds and this world. In ancient times, our ancestors thought so .

The soul of the deceased will take the form of a bird and fly to the sky, or be guided by the bird into the underworld.

So in order to go back and forth between the earth and the underworld, Athena and the bird were combined into one.

So Athena's essence is a 'serpent' - and a 'winged serpent' at that.

The original Athena was a snake with wings, before she was crowned with the name of the gods, she was the goddess of life and death worshiped by the ancient people.

The winged serpent has passed through the baptism of time, and the posture evolved is Athena, the god of disobedience.

According to legend, she has many names.

Whether it is Gorgon or Medusa, it is just one of the names held in the past.

But the representative meaning is the same, which is the honorific title that praises the Holy Mother of the Holy Trinity who dominated the Mediterranean Sea in the past.

Poseidon is her nemesis.

But she does not hate the sea because of this, because both the sea and the earth are deeply related to her deprived essence, which is the source of life.

What she really hates is the sun.

The shining light, the glorious sky throne, is what really makes the Queen of the Night unhappy.

Sister/daughter/wife of the king of the gods and the main god. Goddess of War/Goddess of Serpents/Goddess of Life.

Fukurou is Athena's messenger.

It is an unlucky bird that only appears at night and symbolizes bad omens, but it is also regarded as a sacred bird that is worshiped as a symbol of wisdom.

Since ancient times, it has symbolized the sacred and the ominous at the same time. Combining and

The descendant of Mother Earth, the dark ruler who leads death and darkness, and the fallen queen who rules the sky, earth and darkness.

Athena is also known as the Goddess of Radiance.

Means "one whose eyes shine brightly". The original meaning of this name is supposed to mean "one who has the eyes of Fukurou".

The nocturnal Fukurou was considered in ancient times to be the incarnation of Shinigami who can go back and forth between the closed dark underworld and the present world, so it is only natural that he became a servant of Athena, the god of the dark underworld.

For ancient people, creatures as weird and mysterious as snakes were very rare.

The outer shell is constantly cast off by moulting, and it will go into a long hibernation in winter, and then wake up in spring as if resurrected from the dead.

Easily crossed the gap between winter and spring, is an immortal god. Winter—the god who brings death, belongs to nature and the underworld at the same time. this

It is Athena and [Snake], which is why she is the goddess of the earth but the god of the underworld.

Moreover, the underworld imagined by ancient people basically existed in the dark underground.

A winter world shrouded in darkness.

Similarly, the time dominated by darkness—the night is probably also part of the underworld, so Athena is also the goddess of darkness.

But this power has not been effectively exerted in the past because of incomplete authority.

Now, with the Gorgon Stone, she has returned to her heyday.

The whole person has directly recovered from a little lolita to a girl of sixteen or seventeen.

"Lord Rakshasa, I'm fully prepared, now let's start the long-lost battle!"

The silver-haired goddess held a longbow and challenged Higashino Yuu with her burning eyes.

At this time, the strength full of her body awakened her fighting heart that had been dormant for thousands of years, and she had sincere expectations for the next battle.

"Then let's start, but let me explain first, if you fail in a while, don't cry!"

Immediately when he stretched out his hand, the black and white double blades quickly appeared in his hand.

It is the go-getter Mo Xie.

Athena couldn't help raising her eyebrows when she saw Higashino Yu's performance, because she didn't feel any threat from those two weapons.

In other words it might just be an ordinary sword.

Or to her, it can't be called a sword, it should be called a toy.

…‥ask for flowers.

But after seeing Higashino Yu's power, she didn't underestimate the man in front of her, and directly activated her real name without saying a word.

"Order in Athena's real name, and appear again in the dark night!"

"Dispel the grace of the sun, and extinguish the fire of Prometheus!"

"The sky full of stars and the dark wind reappear the ancient night again!"

As the goddess of Hades and night, she has the power to devour light and fire.

After finishing her recitation, the several blocks around everyone were plunged into darkness.

Not to mention artificial objects such as electric lights, even the sun in the sky is gradually disappearing.

The scene in front of me, if seen from the outside, is like a big black bowl that holds everyone upside down without leaving any gaps.

....0

And in the battlefield, you can't see your fingers.

Liliana and Erica on the side tried to use magic to illuminate the surroundings, but as soon as the magic was released, the light began to be absorbed, and finally there was nothing left.

"Okay, Erica, you don't need to try, this is the authority of the gods, and your mortal light can't illuminate it at all.

Higashino Yu said calmly while looking around.

The power activated by Athena not only affected the surrounding area, but even the power related to the sun in his body was slightly suppressed.

"But...Goddess Athena, don't you think that mere darkness can stop me? You must know that there are animals in this world that can see things even in the dark!"

Higashino Yu looked at the front and his tone was full of ridicule.

At this time, his originally pitch-black pupils emitted a faint green light.

Almost exactly the same as Athena's eyes.

Of course, this is not a replica of Athena's eyes, but the life directory in Hakoniwa World. He has made friends with most creatures on Earth and he also has the characteristics of most creatures on Earth. Night vision is one of them.

But he also secretly regretted it in his heart.

If Athena's move was placed in the world of Hakoniwa, it might be able to suppress Shirayasha.

After all, in the original book, the demon king of the Black Death sealed Shiroyasha by virtue of his own characteristics, and this power of Athena has somewhat similar effects to that of the demon king of the Black Death. .
